Overview

NKF’s Seattle Medical Symposium is a day-long program bringing together the kidney health professional community. With expert faculty and patients as guides, we explore clinical advances, cultural trends, and current research outcomes that will inform our work. We look forward to coming together in person to hear new and inspiring perspectives, embrace new learnings, and become better partners in care to those facing the challenges of kidney disease. Join us in person to network, learn, and earn 4.25 CE/CME.

Not able to join in-person? There is an option to register for the on-demand recordings which will be available 2 weeks after live program. This option allows you to earn the full 4.25 CE/CME on your own time.
